While broadcasters continue to show dark, dramatic images, I have become obsessed with uncovering many human moments and touching stories of love and kindness pouring out of Admiralty, Mong Kok, Causeway Bay, Central and Tsim Sha Tsui. The message is clear — we are Hong Kong people and we love Hong Kong.

Let’s celebrate the peaceful achievements of these dedicated young people who have successfully united our community around a new feelings of pride and a renewed sense of identity. This has been done and it can never be undone. Their focused efforts, creative enthusiasm and focused energy is equal parts astounding and humbling. Their clear and consistent messaging is the envy of every public relations professional.

Dialogues have begun between elders and youth, parents and children in dialogues that will forever change our relationships with each other. The world is watching the peaceful (and sometimes not-so-peaceful) actions of residents from all walks of life participating or opposing. Art is created, songs are sung and voices are heard.

One humid September night in our city that never sleeps, a new Hong Kong was born out of the clear and gentle determination of a few that sparked an outpouring of kindness and generosity from many. For me, this is a story about people, not politics and I could not be more proud of these students if they were my own sons and daughters.

#LoveAndPeace,

As a media professional living in my adopted home of Hong Kong since 1992, I encourage you to harness the power of positive messaging and spread the love — share your favorites wherever you find them and join supporters around the world to support the opening of Hong Kong’s beautiful heart.
